YIPPEEE!!!!!

You are now reading the words of the Donbrosky family's newest homeowner! Jeff and I closed on our first place at 10 am.

We are thrilled to make this next step in our life together!

Jeff and I were approved for a home loan. We are pretty excited to make that leap to home ownership. We had been toying with the idea for about a year, and Jessica's decision spurred us along. I already told Jess it isn't a competition, but she did get her degree right before me, and now a house. Hopefully, I can say I had a baby before her, but at the rate we are going she might beat us.

We have an appointment Saturday to go and look at some houses.

This is at the top of our list right now. It is so cute. We drove past last weekend and peeked in the windows. The kitchen looks like it has been completely redone. It is a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home. There is a two car garage in back. There is a full basement, hardwood floors and a bay window in front. I love the french doors that lead from the living room to the dining room. Downside: no appliances, so we would have to buy all the appliances (oven, dishwasher, refrigerator) Price: $175,000

This is another house our realtor forwarded to us. It is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath. We haven't driven past to peek in the windows, plus it is still occupied. All appliances included. Downside: only 1 bathroom, no basement. Price: $159,000

We were looking for another house on our drive and came across this one. It is Jeff's favorite just from appearances and location. It is a 3 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath house. There is a full basement and a private yard. The kitchen is practically brand new and the bathrooms are updated. Downside: out of our price range (we qualify for the amount, but I don't want to spend that much), further away from work. Price: $215,000
